I mentioned that I had been awarded the Nice Matters award, and hadto pass it on. Peter put the award logo on my blog and you can copy itfrom there and then choose 8 others to pass it on to.

Also I see my counter is over 27,000. I must admit I never look at itbut thank you one and all for those comments and kind words.Tomorrow is our friend Val 's birthday. I hope you have a great day Val.Why not pop over to wish her a happy day ? Happy Birthday, Val.

A nice poster that I have in my toilet, it's a nice one.

Another scene painted by mouth of some more eucalyptus trees. Love them.

The first article was sent by my dear friend Jeanette who sadly went to herbrother's funeral today. Hope you are OK Jan and thanks for this one.

A group of men were standing around talking and one had a dogwith him."That's a fine dog," said one of the men and his owner replied," He's a fine sporting dog, can smell out game a mile off."

He then noticed that the animal was sniffing around one of themen and said, " That's funny, he can smell game now. Have youany on you or have you been carrying any in your back pockets?"

"No," replied the other man, then as though struck by a suddeninspiration, "but my name is Partridge."<><><>

The managing director looked around the board-room aftermaking his speech in favour of a particular action.

"Now," he said, "we'll take a vote on my recommendations. Allthose in opposition raise your right arm and say, 'I resign.' "<><>

Builder : "I thought I recognized your daughter, sir. She was inthe school that I was doing some work on. In the first year, I believe."

Harassed man : "And what year was she in when you had finishedthe work?"<><>The same question was put to three different men: "If you weretold by your doctor that you had only one month longer to livewhat would you do?"

The first man replied, " I would set about putting my affairs in order,lead a quiet, peaceful life, and prepare for the end."

The next man said, "I would realize all my assets, have a right goodtime and then I wouldn't mind what happened."

The third man merely said, "I should consult another doctor."<><>

Two little girls were busy boasting to each other about how greattheir respective fathers were.

"My father had lunch with Shakespeare yesterday." said Sally."But Shakespeare is dead," commented Clare.

More lovely pictures, especially the one with the tres and stream. I can't imagine how a person can do such wonderful work by holding the brush in their mouth. I have two hands and I can't achieve sometingg so beautifulI think they must paint from their soul....I like the one about the fake friend. Isn't that true!Blessings Merle

Hi Merle, Hope you have a good report from your doctor, too! Maybe it's the genetics...

Those paintings by foot and mouth artists are so amazing...I tried once to do something with my feet only and found it impossible, yet if I had arms amputated, I guess I would just have to learn real quickly, wouldn't I?
